[Asis-l] 2 Workshops on 26th Oct at LC

[Pilsk, Suzanne]

As mentioned in a previous post, ASIS&T members maybe very interested in these two workshops that are being held at LC

ICSTI (International Council for Scientific and Technical Information) workshops registration is open at: http://www.icsti.org/inscriptions/form2017.html


The ITOC and TACC Workshops will be held as part of the ICSTI 2017 General Assembly and workshops event on Thursday 26th October 2017 in Washington D.C. The event is hosted by the Library of Congress.


ITOC Workshop

The Information Trends and Opportunities Committee (ITOC) is the catalyst for strategic thinking of ICSTI. It conducts foresight/horizon scanning to identify trends and opportunities of interest and relevance to ICSTI members. The Chair of ITOC is Margret Plank, Head of Competence Center for non-textual Materials at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB).

Workshop Description
Next generation metrics for open science As science shifts towards collaborative endeavour, transparency of process and increasing significance of data driven research, new modes of work and expertise are emerging in academia. However, common metrics which aim to benchmark the impact and value of research mostly emphasize traditional scientific outputs (publications in high impact journals). Novel bases and methods of research and forms of scholarly communication are not included, e.g. data curation, data publication, new modes of scientific output including video abstracts, blogs, micropublications and the sharing of scientific tools and software.
To develop new modes of scholarly communication and activity that ensure transparency, reproducibility and reusability, additional systems are necessary to recognize and value new scientific roles (e.g. data experts) and new incentive/accreditation processes for science researchers. This workshop presents thoughts on how to address these imperatives for change.

Presenters
Julia Klebanov, Moore Foundation

TACC Workshop
ICSTI's Technical Activities Coordinating Committee (TACC) typically focuses on exploring and communicating technical aspects of innovative trends in information science-based tools that help make STI more useable and accessible. The Chair of TACC is Brian Hitson, Director US DOE/Office of Scientific and Technical Information (DOE/OSTI).

Workshop Description
Machine Learning and Its Applications to Scientific and Technical Information Machine learning may be the next great innovation in knowledge search and discovery. Machine learning describes what happens in machines that get trained to perform a task by exposure to examples of what they're supposed to learn. It's already happening all around us in the development of facial and object recognition; selfdriving cars; instant language translation; and speech recognition. This workshop will explore machine learning and its applications relevant to science and, more specifically, to various forms of scientific and technical information, including images, data, and text.

Presenters
Andrew Fast, CounterFlow AI
Presentation title: A Brief History of Machine Learning

Andrew Mc Callum, University of Massachusetts,
Presentation will cover about machine learning for information extraction from the scientific literature, building knowledge bases of science, and various efforts in AI to build tools to aid scientists.

Thomas Potok, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Presentation title: Machine Learning for Scientific Discovery

Ray Shan, Yewno
Presentation title: Using AI to enhance Biomedical research

Georgia Tourassi, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
